A few years ago little book fell into
our hands, recOunting the experience OF a
certain prominent business man, from
which it appeared that, as with most
Americans. too close attention to business
had broken his heath. The doctor said ne
could not live. He then stated that be useq
q certain article which effectualy cured
him, and tout of gratitude for his own re-
cOvery he determined to devote portion
of his fortune to spreading its merits De-
fore the world"
As we read it we said: ''This Is evi-

research, and his name became house

Hundreds of thousands of people to-day,
without reservation, say that to this man
alone they owe their lives.

THE GARFIELD FAMILY.
A Glimpse at the Handsome Home at
Mentor and lis Occupant

A Glimpse at the Hardsome Home at
Mentor and lis Occupants.
In five years there have been many
notable changes in the Garfield family.
There have been no deaths, but the
children of whom the father was so
fond have grown up. The two older
boys have begun a course in the Co
lumbia College Law School, and Harry,
the elder, has been teaching in some
Eastern school. Both are graduates Of
Williams College. James r. Garfield
has been studying law with Judge
Boynton in Cleveland, and is looked
upon by friends of his father as the
son most ike him in every way.
He has his fathers size, complexion,
eyes and manner. Both sons are now
men, and have, it is said, great am,
bition. Miss Molle, the only daughter,
is now young woman taller than her
mother, and has about finished her
studies. The two younger sons,
Abram and Irwin-the latter named
for General Irwin McDowell-are old
enough to enter a school on the Hud-
son, and left home for their duties
there recently. They had never been
away from home alone before.
Since the preliminary education of
Abram and Irwin III the Cleveland
public schools the mother has had no
further desire to live iii city. She
has ordered her mansion in Cleveland
sold and has decided to make her
future home in Mentor. She has here
added to the modest frame house Of
her husband "Queen Anne structure
which cost $4,000. 1t is the most i'm
posing home IN the country, although
the new part is behind and wholly SUBJ
servient to the old house in which the
President lived. This still remains the
head and front of the Garfield home,
although remOdeled to conform with
the addition. A $50, addition to d
s., 900 house is a curiosity in modern
architecture, but sentiment for the
past and its ilIustrious dead inspired
it. There are probably sixty rooms in
both new and old houses. They are
all furnished in modern style and with
considerable elegance, and there is an
air of aristocracy about the interior
which Garfield did not know in his own
home. Although the house is far in
the country it has all the conveniences
of a city home-in plumbing, gas-ft-
ting and steam-heating.
A natural gas well has been bored on
the farm, and the yard is kept lighted
day and night. The main entrance is
through the old house. In the hall
facing the door is Grandma" Gar
fields old wall-sweep clock, which her
husband brought home just sixty years
ago. 1t is still the standard time of
that house, and keeps on ticking just
as it did when the President was born.
To the left is the smoking room. which
is a lounging room for the family,
James being their only one who
smokes. To the right is the old parlor,
now a reception room, and rich IN relies
of the dead. 1t was once his study.
Bibles and other books are upon the
tables, and the furniture is much the
the same as when the family left for
WashingtOn.-LUd World.

HOME MAKING.
Ea Othsr Words, the Highest Kind Of
housekeeping.

LA Other Words. the Highest Kind Of
housekeeping.
Why housekeeping, which is the very
foundation of home-making, has not been
classed among the fine arts is question
that has always puzzled me.
When young girls begin to consider the
cooking of a good dinner, the laying of a
dainty table, or the arranging tastefully of
the living-room, as elevating, instead OF
degrading, then there will be fewer IN
happy, ill-kept homes. It requires less skill
and less labor to bake a fiaky loaf of bread
or brou a tender beefsteak, than to learn
to play a difficult sonata, and 1 am con-
WINGED that when the men folks come home
cross and hungry, a cheerful hearth and
savOry meal Will do much more towards
charming away the froWns and bringing
back the smiles, than the sweetest strains
of music, for mans stomach lies in close
proximity to his heart. Fancy needle-work
is an requirement that every girl should
possess, for no home is complete without
limited supply of titles, cushions, rugs,
etc, but surely a portion Of the time spent
in counting the thousands of pieces in crazy
quilts and straining the eyes in numbering
the stitches in lovely little dogs wrought
upon canvas, might be much more profit
ably spent in learning the art of perfect
housekeeping. In raising the standard Of
home-making, see brighter days for both
mistress and maid. Let the girls IN the
h CHER walks Of life take as much pride in
exhibiting specimens of their housekeeping
Of their painting, then those who are
forced into the world to earn their daily
bread will vie with each other in perform
ing hrst-class work, and the result will DO
an increase Of wages. It is not the small
income alone that drives girls into other
fields Of labor, when the cry for good serv-
ants is so pressing. Give dignity and honor
to this much abused sphere, and there will
be no lack OF efficient help, for in those
happy days that are to come, work shops
and factories viii not be preferred to
bright, coy kitchen and the shelter of a
comfortable home ~ Belle y Chisholm, ~
Christia1t at Work.

A MARVELLOUS CLOCK.

Description of the Intricate Mechanical
Wonder Being Made at VIIIingen.
A marvellous clock, which is intended
to surpass the mechanical wonders of
Strasburg and Berne is being made at
Villingen in the Black Forest, one Of
the headquarters of this branch of in
dustry. It is in the Gothic style, and
indicates the Sc conds, minutes, hours,
days, months, years and leap years, be-
ginning with the first seconds of the
first year and ending with the last Sec
onds of SO, 999 A. D. 1t also indicates
the correct time for each meridian, the
phases of the moon, and strikes the
minutes, quarters and hours. Marvel
Gus figures move round the clock,

ing the minutes and hours; genii, death,
a patron saint, a cherub and the twelve
apostles, Christ, the four ages of man,
the four seasons, the seven heather
gods who give the names to the days
Of the week, the signs of the zodiac and
so forth. During the day a trumpeter
sounds his bugle, then comes the night
Waterman announcing the hours with
his horn, and he is relieved at dawn by
a growing cock. In spring and sum-
mer the cuckoo's note is heard. The
angels who attend Christ in his last
hours are also moving on, and there are
also a sexton and an old man who
kneels in prayer. The clockwork fur

American Harvesting Machinery in Aus
tFaiia.

tFalia.
Australian papers Just received announce
the award of the National Gold Medal to
AULTMAN, MILLER d Co, of Akron, O., for
their Light Draft Buckeye Folding nder,
as the result of the National field trial held
in December last. The following, cut from
the Melbourne ATg1ts of December 10, 1886,
giving part Culars of the contest, will be Of
interest. The Argus says:
The field trial OF reapers and binders in
connection with the National Show at
SheppartOn was held on Tuesday, the 14th
inst. on Mr. GUthrie's farm, about two
miles from SheppartOn. Owing to the
pressure of harvest work, crops in all dl-
rections being ripe, the attendance OF farm
ers did not exceed $50, but great interest
was taken in the proceedings. As at the
late show, the judges placed the Hornsb
machine first, M COrmlck second and the
Woods third; the Buckeye representa-
tive dislilzed being left out in the cold, and
demanded field trial as provided by the
rules, the NJ COrmlck also sharing IN the
protest: so the prizes were held over pend
ing the field trial The crop was ripe
wheat and the land was so rough that
none of the machines could show very low
cutting, and the jolting over the hard clods
was tolerably severe on horses, ma hines
and drivers. Two o. clock was the hour fixed
for the trial, but as the buckeye was the
only machine then ready, delay was
caused by the HOlnsby and NJ Cormlck
experts giving their machines a pre-
nmnary run IN the adjoining block OF crop,
and a 8 tart was not made until quarter
past three. The five judges gave great at
tention to their duties, and were ably sec
onded by the subcommittee, appointed by
the society and the secretary, Mr.. Harold
B Turnkey. About two acres were allotted
to each machine, and they finished in
the following order: Buckeye" l hour TO
minutes; Hornsby, l hour 10 minutes;
Mccormick, hour % Llinutes. The two
latter machines were drawn by three
horses each, while two lighter horses
worked the s'Buckeye' binder with equal
ease The decision Of the judges was based
on the following scale of points:
